Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

"Our army has been attacking Chencang for three days. The Han State should have noticed Cheng Gongying's plan. Reinforcements may be on the way to Chencang."

"In Lueyang, Liu Bei has most likely seen through Lueyang's strengths and weaknesses and knows that there are only 10,000 soldiers in the city and they may attack the city at any time."

"Your Majesty, it seems that we may not be able to capture Chencang City in a short time. I wonder if you should consider..."

Before Xu Huang finished speaking, he glanced towards Longxi.

Cao Cao understood his hint.

The surprise attack plan has been exposed, Chencang has been under siege for a long time, and the situation in Lueyang City is worrying. Is it time to consider giving up the attack on Chencang and retreat westward to Jicheng?

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, but his eyes became more determined.

"Lueyang City has a brilliant plan by Cheng Gongying. Even if the big-eared thieves discover our army's strengths and weaknesses, with 300,000 troops besieging us, we may not be able to take it in a short time."

"It has only been three days since our army arrived at Chencang. It will take at least seven days for the big-eared thieves to receive the news and for their reinforcements to arrive at Chencang."

"I still have four days to attack Chencang!"

Cao Cao's face lit up with pride, and he pointed his whip towards Chencang City:
"I just don't believe that Hao Zhao's ability to defend the city can really be comparable to Huo Jun's. Only 4,000 soldiers can defend Chencang like a rock."

"Pass the order down, all troops, continue to attack me fiercely. I must see Hao Zhao's head within four days!"

"Whoever cuts off his head will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

Cao Cao was determined to burn his boats and continue attacking the city.

Not only did they want to attack the city, but they also increased the temptation of rewards and directly offered the title of marquis of ten thousand households.

Xu Huang's heart was shocked, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Even someone as calm as him was excited by Cao Cao's re-ennoblement.

"Brothers, whoever gets Hao Zhao's head will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

"Follow me and conquer Chencang. I will never retreat!"

Xu Huang let out a wild cry, turned his horse and dragged his axe, and charged into the city again.

After the imperial edict was passed down, the Qin soldiers, who had originally lost their fighting spirit, were like being given a shot of adrenaline, and they burst into fighting spirit again.

"Destroy Chencang——"

"Kill Hao Zhao——"

"Wan Hu Hou——"

The ferocious and excited roars resounded outside the city.

Sixty thousand Qin soldiers, like hungry tigers and wolves, once again rushed towards Chencang City.

In the blink of an eye, the four city walls were densely packed with Qin soldiers.

The offensive and defensive momentum gradually began to reverse.

Although Hao Zhao has a talent for defending a city, he is still young after all. The experience of blood and fire is not enough for him to be on par with Huo Jun and reach the peak level in history.

Facing the sudden "last gasp" attack of the Qin army, Hao Zhao gradually began to lose his strength and showed signs of being unable to resist.

Although the 4,000 Han troops held on hard, the battle became increasingly difficult and they showed signs of being unable to hold out.

"Your Majesty, I can't hold on any longer. When will your reinforcements arrive?"

Hao Zhao frowned and looked towards the north.

Suddenly, a look of surprise and joy appeared in those clouded eyes.

To the north, silver dust and fog, like a tornado, swept in along the Long River.

No, that wasn't silver dust.

That's the Baima Yicong!

The five thousand white horse volunteers came in a mighty force like a giant white dragon.

Among the countless flags with the word "Han" on them, a flag with the word "Zhao" on it was faintly visible in the bloody setting sun.

It’s Zhao Yun and his White Horse Volunteers!

A few miles away.

Zhao Yun was galloping on his horse.

Looking back, the five thousand white horse volunteers all had tired looks on their faces.

After receiving Liu Bei's imperial edict from Jieting, Zhao Yun changed direction and led 5,000 volunteers back at full speed.

He was afraid that if he was a little slow, Hao Zhao would not be able to hold on and would lose the Chencang fortress and a million hu of grain.

Today, we finally arrived at Chencang before the sun set.

"General Zilong, Chencang is still there, and the Han flag is still on the top of the city wall of Chencang!" The young general behind him pointed in the direction of Chencang and shouted excitedly in ecstasy.

The young general was none other than Deng Ai.

Zhao Yun looked into the distance and saw that on the top of Chencang City, the remaining flags of the Han army were still fluttering.

"The Prime Minister's ability to judge people is indeed extraordinary. This Hao Bodao is indeed a genius in defending the city. He has made a great contribution this time!"

Zhao Yun exclaimed in admiration and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking a deep breath, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and he pointed his Dragon Gallbladder Spear forward:
"White Horse Volunteers, listen to my orders. Our chance to make achievements has come."

"Follow me and defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop!"

"We kill—"

The thunderous killing order echoed across the wilderness.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Five thousand white horse volunteers roared in unison, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

They were originally exhausted, but it seemed as if they had recovered their strength in an instant and burst out with amazing fighting spirit.

Five thousand cavalrymen, stirring up a cloud of dust, rushed towards the Qin army that was attacking the city.

The central army of the Qin army.

Cao Cao still had a frown on his face, staring at Chencang City.

Seeing that the Han army could not resist, Cao Cao whipped his horse whip and shouted fiercely:
"Pass the order down, and send my Yulin Army to push forward and attack me—"

"Your Majesty, cavalry... cavalry, the cavalry of the Han army!"

Dian Wei beside him screamed in surprise, raised his hand tremblingly and pointed to the north, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

Cao Cao was suddenly shocked and turned to look towards the north.

Five thousand white horse volunteers came like a silver tide, overwhelming the sky and the earth, and suddenly caught his eye.

Cao Cao froze for a moment, with his raised whip hanging in the air.

The whole person seemed to be petrified.

"White Horse Volunteers? The cavalry of the big-eared thief?"

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

"How could Liu Bei's reinforcements arrive at Chencang so quickly? Impossible, this is impossible—"

Cao Cao kept shaking his head and muttering to himself in a trembling voice, as if he could not accept this unbelievable and cruel fact.

The Yulin Army was in chaos.

The Qin army, which was attacking the city, turned around and was surprised to see the Han cavalry approaching. Their originally high morale instantly fell to the bottom.

North direction.

Deng Ai took the lead and rushed into the Qin army which was hastily forming a battle formation and had no time to stop him.

The spear skills learned from Zhao Yun whizzed out like a torrent of wind and rain, and the Qin army blocking the way were harvested like ants.

Move forward courageously, no one can stop you!
The White Horse Volunteers behind him rushed in like a torrent, and in the blink of an eye, the Qin army was crushed to the ground, with people and horses falling down, and ghosts crying and wolves howling.

The iron cavalry was unstoppable and in the blink of an eye, they broke through the Qin army in the middle.

The collapse begins.

The nearly 30,000 Qin troops on the west gate line were mainly infantry. When they were attacked by the Han cavalry, their formation and morale collapsed immediately.

The Qin soldiers who had originally climbed all over the city wall quickly retreated like frightened birds and fled towards the frozen Wei River.

And above the city.

The Han army, which finally waited for the arrival of reinforcements, waved their weapons and cheered loudly.

"Han army soldiers, listen to my order, follow me to charge out of the city and capture Cao Cao alive—"

Hao Zhao raised his sword and shouted excitedly.

The city gates were opened, and the defenders turned from defense to offense, fighting back and rushing towards the scattered Qin soldiers.

"Capture Cao Cao alive!"

"Capture Cao Cao alive!"

The earth-shaking roar echoed across both banks of the Wei River. (End of this chapter)
